What happened to Dejuan Blair? by doctorJJJin NBASpurs

[–]excoriator 0 points1 point ago

This. It wasn't long after Diaw arrived that Blair lost his regular spot in the starting 5 and started playing fewer minutes overall.

Chris Paul's HORSE shot by v_for_vincein nba

Even though I read this thread title before and saw the shot happen live, when I read it just now, I thought the thread was about someone shooting Chris Paul's horse.

For your viewing pleasure... by RedsfanMLBin Reds

Not sure which game you saw, but it's good that you got to see a series win. I bet the Yankees will be glad to not have to face the Reds again for a while.

Yet another site to check if a show or movie is on Netflix Instant, but this one is extremely fast by rspeedin cordcutters

Search for programming is one of the few niches in which GoogleTV shines. GoogleTV FTW here.

Was going to cancel Netflix, but...Arrested Development.... by glassjazzin cordcutters

How does it feel to be in the crosshairs of a company's target market for its product?

Took the plunge anyway. Sprung for worse seats for Game 2, way up in the corner.

Has Mack Brown lost his edge in Texas? by Zoorunin CFB

[–]excoriator 0 points1 point ago

Agreed. Dodds is 72 and certainly could retire in the foreseeable future. He gets most of the credit for the school's deal with ESPN, which was a catalyst for the departure of A&M and Missouri from the Big 12. The millions that the deal produced will likely insulate him from any negative realignment consequences that affect the Longhorns.

Roku network streaming (Tech Help) : xpost from r/linux_devices by DavidG83in Roku

[–]excoriator 1 point2 points ago

IMO, there's a reason this is difficult for you. It's the wrong tool for the job. The Roku is designed to stream content from the WAN, not the LAN. Every channel that enables this capability is a kludge, a workaround to add functionality that was not intended for the device. Good for you, if you get it to work, but just keep in mind that you're swimming against the current to make it happen.

Has Mack Brown lost his edge in Texas? by Zoorunin CFB

[–]excoriator 3 points4 points ago

Since the subject of the thread is Mack Brown, a big-picture issue for him that is not mentioned in the article is the fact that Bill Powers, the university president is rumored to be close to being pushed out. He and Powers are close. The next president may not be as supportive of a coach whose teams have struggled in recent years.

Has Mack Brown lost his edge in Texas? by Zoorunin CFB

Coaches in other states have caught on to the goldmine of QB talent that 7-man offseason football is creating in Texas and they're starting to mine that gold and recruit harder in the state. Ohio State has a new assistant working Texas, a state that the Buckeyes have not previously had much of a recruiting presence in.

Well played, sir.

Anyone else think Shaq is doing a better job on TNT? by bobojoein nba

[–]excoriator 1 point2 points ago

It's interesting to watch the the TNT overtime webcast 4-camera view during the halftime show. (You can see the camera feeds even when the show is showing highlights.) They keep a camera trained on Chuck and another on Shaq during the entire show. It seemed like both were holding back last night. Chuck seemed more nervous than Shaq... he kept taking nervous sips from his cup. Shaq just sat and stared at the studio monitors with a bemused smile.

Whoo. Much more expensive this time. Seats I paid $27 for in the semifinals are now over $100.

Hung this up next to my TV as a good luck charm for the playoffs.. by ajsatxin nba

[–]excoriator 3 points4 points ago

I question whether the Spurs will hang on to Blair after this season. He seems to have become expendable. Good guy, though. Don't blame you for being a fan.

Save $5 on MLB.tv for 2012 by nreuckin cordcutters

[–]excoriator 0 points1 point ago

I guess you won't be giving them any money in the foreseeable future. The blackout policy protects the cable and dish companies, so that the channels that carry MLB games can get bundled onto the basic tier of service. This spreads the cost of the channel across all of the subscribers to basic cable, including grandmas who subscribe only for soap operas and cooking shows.

If the blackout goes away, the whole revenue model collapses and MLB makes up for it by jacking MLB.TV subscriptions up to $500/year instead of $129, to make up for the lost revenue.

You can pout all you like. It's not going to change MLB's policy.

VIA unveils new buses for rapid transit service by Redbutterin sanantonio

You all realize that this is greasing the skids or proving the concept for light rail, right? If you want light rail, then you need for this service to draw big ridership numbers, so ride it!

Dusty Baker seems ready to ditch Marshall plan and promote Chapman to closer by uzmifunein Reds

[–]excoriator 1 point2 points ago

I'll believe it when I see it. I'd sooner predict the Reds go with closer-by-committee due to Chapman's innings limit.
